Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
I would like to start things off today by pointing out that I didn’t get any sleep last night because I spent the entire night trying to figure out what constitutes roughing the passer in the NFL. If you breath on Tom Brady, you’ll be penalized.

That second one happened last night during the Chiefs‘ wild 30-29 win over the Raiders. We’ll be covering the controversial call against Chris Jones, plus the postgame situation involving Davante Adams and much more in today’s newsletter, so let’s get to the rundown.

The Chiefs got off to an ugly start — trailing 17-0 at one point — but a controversial roughing-the-passer call against Chris Jones late in the second quarter seemed to spark them to a win (We’ll cover the penalty a little bit later). After the call, the Chiefs stormed back thanks to the unstoppable combination of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. Mahomes threw four touchdown passes with ALL FOUR of them going to his tight end. For Kelce, he set the Monday night record for most touchdown catches, he tied the Chiefs record for most receiving touchdowns in a game and he finished with the second most touchdown catches by a tight end in a single game in NFL history. Kelce finished the night with seven catches for 25 yards, giving him the NFL record for fewest receiving yards by a player with four TD catches. As…
